I think Gaza was quiet enough that the politicians more or less thought it was a solved problem, that’s why most of the military was in the west bank. The current focus has been on west bank expansion and displacement.
Now that there is a good political emergency I expect the opportunity will be used to empty the north side of Gaza, and increase the depth of the permitter walls. Shrinking Gaza into the smallest possible size to house the occupants.
But the real benefit of the current emergency is it can be used to accelerate west bank settlement and relocation efforts.

The plan was a fascist PM needed an excuse to clamp down after the people were rebelling against his power play.
